We Prayed 2 Corinthians 12:9 and" Many People Experience Jesus"

God really blessed us in spite of all the negative things that happened. By Monday night Carol had her car back and it was no expense at all. The new water heater was in place by Monday night too. We are grateful for Grants Transmission in Greenfield, Indiana and Wendall Hester and his HCP Electrical Contracting for taking care of this so quickly. Thank You.
I am so proud of the way our guys in Renewal handled the weekend. When they had their equipment stolen, and we know musicians have close attachments to their stuff, they handled it well. They did not lose focus of what we were doing in ministry. We claimed 2 Corinthians 12:9 as the police patrol pulled away leaving us with what equipment we had left. We asked God to help us in our weakness of equipment. I believe He did. As we called ahead for help, those people not only gathered equipment to help us, that prayed and alerted others to pray. Our guys started calling friends and family to pray for us. Soon it is apparent, that a large network of prayer was formed.
The second thing we prayed for in our circle of prayer that day was that in spite of our lack of equipment, people would experience Jesus as we sang and played. I have been in ministry for over 38 years now. I am used to comments people make about our ministry. The response of last weekend was one that I will never, ever forget. People did experience God and they let us know. The response of so many praying a prayer of repentance at Jackson Friends Church in Massillon, Ohio on Sunday morning was awesome. In the other events I can only say that Christians let us know in a very clear and unusual way that God was there. Thanks for your prayers for this ministry.
Thanks for stopping by.
